Rethinking bathroom design
As homeowners begin to dream
up plans to update their kitchens
and bathrooms, they can
spend hours searching for inspiration
on the web or one of the many home
renovation television shows. There's
no shortage of beautiful ideas and
designs out there, but before you
make any decision, you should start
with the crucial question: What is it
I really want?
A recent study conducted by the home
design website Houzz found that the two
things homeowners want most for their
bathroom are style and ease of cleaning.
In eff ect, people want their bathrooms to
exhibit both function and design.
Of course, there are the conventional
bathroom remodel options, such as
a new faucet, countertop or shower
fi xture, all of which can be stunning
and transform not just your bathroom
but your house. But the most commonly
used bathroom component is oft en
the most overlooked: the toilet.
Eighty-three percent of Americans
claim there's something they want
to improve upon with their toilets,
according to a survey by Kohler. The
question is what.
This statistic should give homeowners
pause and invite them to think
beyond the conventional bathroom
remodeling ideas and re-imagine the
possibilities.
COMFORT, HYGIENE
AND STYLE
Travelers returning from Italy,
Spain, Argentina and Japan oft en rave
about the unexpected luxury of using
a bidet. While popular in many other
countries, bidets are only just now
catching on in the United States, moving
from high-end luxury bathrooms
and hospitals (where they're used for
their superior hygiene) into household
bathrooms across America.
As the leading manufacturer of
modern bidets, Kohler has been
working to incorporate the trifecta of
comfort, hygiene and style into their
intelligent toilets.
Built directly into an ergonomically
shaped toilet seat, a stainless-steel
bidet wand off ers adjustable water
temperature, pressure, position
and shape, along with pulsating and
oscillating functions to maximize the
comfort of the experience.
But that's not all. To better introduce
Americans to the international phenomenon
of bidets, Kohler's intelligent
toilets feature a heated seat, warm air
dryer and added sanitary features
such as hands-free flushing and a
deodorizing seat.
A REDEFINED BATHROOM
Equipped with smart technology
that allows a person to fully customize
their experience, such ultra-modern
bidets may change how Americans go
to the bathroom - but only if the look
is right.
Consumers are not willing to sacrifi
ce design for functionality; they want
it all. For anyone who has used or seen
a Veil Intelligent Toilet, it's evident that
the same exacting standards it brings
to cleanliness and hygiene go into its
crisp, clean look.
A recent survey by Kohler suggests
33 percent of homeowners would be
excited to upgrade their toilets. With
this latest generation of toilets and
bidets, it's likely that more people will
want to redefi ne their bathroom with
these stunning new options.
